The 15 Best Wine Tours in Bucharest

Romania grows more wine than New Zealand and almost none of it leaves the country. These tastings and cellar visits are the best way to find that out, with what is poured, whether food comes with it, group sizes and prices.

Wine Tasting in Bucharest

Wine Tasting in Bucharest - How the tasting actually flows over about 2 hours

1.Wine Tasting in Bucharest

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 183 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Taste five Romanian wines in Bucharest’s Old Town at Abel’s Wine Bar, paired with cheese and meats, plus a guided culture intro.

“This was easily the nicest bar I visited in Bucharest. Not at all touristy. I was the only one doing a tasting but that didn't detract from the experience. Was given interesting explanations for each wine, then allowed time to enjoy them while nibbling the generous portion of cheeses and cold meats. If I was a local, I'd be a regular in this bar. Book this experience, it's a couple of hours well spent.”

4.Private Wine Tasting Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 44 reviews · 1 day · from $64

Private Bucharest wine tasting at Abel's Wine Bar with 5 Romanian wines, cheese and meats, guided in English for about 2 hours.

“I liked the wine bar and its atmosphere. The wines (2 white, 1 rosé, 2 red) were all particular, and even the rosé had a good finish, which one cannot say about every rosé. The platter with cheese and sausage was well decorated and tasteful. A little more Romanian cheese/sausage could have even enhanced the experience. Thank you and till next time in Bucharest!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 32 reviews · 8 hours · from $99

Taste 10+ Romanian wines at LacertA and Budureasca on an 8-hour small-group tour from Bucharest with pickup, snacks, and an English sommelier.

“the guide did not manage time between vineyards well, actual wine tasting was shorter than the sommelier history on the vineyard. Because of this poor management lunch was skipped and the guide had a verbal disagreement with the second vineyard sommelier, yet the second vineyard had better time management between the history and the wine tasting”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 9 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $189

Private day trip from Bucharest to Unirea Salt Mine, Berca mud volcanoes, and Lacerta Winery wine tasting on weekends.

“The salt mine is huge but not spectacular. The visit to Lacerta winery and the wine tasting experience was the highlight of the day, so we would strongly recommend taking this tour on a weekend. The muddy volcanoes are a nice attraction as it is not something that we've seen before. The guide, Mihai, was very courteous, made sure we made the most of our day, picked us up on time and provided useful information not just on the visited attractions but on Romanian history and attractions.”

Dealu Mare is the best red wine-producing area in Romania and Mihai's selection of wineries to visit highlighted the quality, tragic history, beauty, and growing potential of the area. This is a tour not to be missed with Mihai!!”

He made sure the bikes were adjusted just right for each of us before we started. The bikes he provided were in excellent condition. The entire journey was approximately 18 miles. He provided each of us with a bottle of water. We stopped several times to make sure we were okay and to rest. The journey took us through several small towns, fields of sunflowers and grape vines. Our stay at the vineyard was one of the best we have ever experienced. We had an…”
